Use offline mode (optional)

If the production is being carried out on a mobile site, for example, you may need to use Pixotope "offline" for a period of the production. For this, you can choose to switch to offline mode.

Switch to offline mode

1. Click the user menu in the top right-hand corner of Pixotope Director

2. Choose "Switch to offline mode"

3. Choose how long you want this Pixotope license to be in offline mode

   • The number of days you fill in has to be within the expiry time of the license

     

Do not choose a longer duration than necessary. If the machine crashes and cannot boot anymore, the license cannot be released until the end of this duration.
